Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
2
Generously season both sides of the ribeye steaks with salt and black pepper.
3
In a large cast iron skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the skillet is very hot, carefully place the seasoned steaks into the skillet and sear for about 5 minutes on one side until a golden crust forms.
4
Flip the steaks, transfer the skillet to the preheated oven, and cook for an additional 5 minutes for medium-rare doneness. Remove from the oven and let the steaks rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
5
In a separate large skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of butter and a tablespoon of olive oil. Heat over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the minced shallots and garlic, cooking for about 2 minutes until fragrant and softened.
6
Add the sliced cremini mushrooms to the skillet and sauté, stirring often, for about 8 minutes until the mushrooms are browned and tender.
7
While the mushrooms are cooking, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the penne pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain the pasta and set aside.
8
Lower the heat on the skillet with the mushrooms and gradually pour in the heavy cream, simmering for about 10 minutes until the sauce thickens.
9
Stir in 3/4 cup of the grated parmesan cheese and chopped sun-dried tomatoes into the creamy mixture until blended well.
10
Fold the drained penne pasta into the sauce, then add the chopped fresh parsley, mixing until everything is evenly coated.
11
Thinly slice the rested ribeye steaks on an angle and gently add them to the pasta, tossing lightly to combine.
12
Serve the dish warm, garnished with the remaining parmesan cheese and additional fresh parsley for a lovely presentation.
